MUST READ: My Daughters Told Me Their Father Had Séx With Them – A True Life Story

Please, help me solve this problem that has torn apart and is threatening my happiness, my daughters and probably the future generations yet unborn.

I married my husband just like every other young woman and we both looked forward to a blissfull future with our children. Contrary to the belief of some people that I would have problems bearing children, through God’s mercy, my three children came few years into our union.

A lot of people believed we would have to wait on the Lord for the blessing of the fruit of the womb as that was the tradition in my husband’s family, but God singled us out and we had our children without any hitch.

With these, our joy was complete and we never envisaged that these children would be a source of discord in our family now.

I am a trained nurse with a B.Sc in Nursing from Glasgow, Scotland and my husband is also a trained professional engineer. We both had good jobs until my husband lost his job and getting another good well paid job became difficult.

We both decided that I should travel out of the country to practise and when I am stabilised, he would join me with the children.

UNEDITED: THE SHOCKING RAPE STORY OF ETHEL JOAN NWADIKE IN BENIN, NIGERIA

 October 9,2013 A friend of mine MOSES IDAHOSA reached me and invited me to come to Benin city for an event, i have known him since 2011 so I thought nothing of it,like no harm can be done after all we go way back and stuff,so I booked my ticket from Lagos and I flew to Benin on the 13th October a Sunday for the event. 

After the event we went to chill at a place called Alice hotel in GRA Benin,he had a Suite there and we were with other friends.we all talked, laughed, gisted and all until about 10pm when everyone started leaving gradually,i wanted to call my cab to take me to my own hotel but moses kept on insisting on dropping me and I was like even better would save me paying for cab,so I had to wait for everybody to leave before he could drop me because he said he couldn't leave his guests to drop me,so when everyone finally left,i was about to stand up but he was adamant on me still waiting but i finally insisted i needed to go because i was leaving for Lagos early the next morning and couldn't wait anymore,i had to work the next morning. 

When i got up to go,he pulled me and slapped me and asked me to sit,i thought it was a joke at first cos I just couldn't believe it,i brought out my phone to try and call for a taxi,by then i was in shock and angry but he forcefully seized my phone saying i wasn't going anywhere . 
he overpowered me and he tied me up in his hotel,stuffed my mouth so I couldn't scream,and he raped me several times …again and again and again. 
He said his baba said I was the perfect candidate for his rituals and for his upcoming election to take place properly next year so he would win.i was in shock and in denial,i couldn't even believe it,i have heard stories never thought i would experience it first hand in this cruel way from someone i knew. 

Every day for two hours i was raped over and over again by this man ,i was still bound and gagged.he beat me up and did all kinds of things to me,i was helpless and cried bitter tears to no avail 
because no one could hear me. 

On Tuesday evening he came back and rubbed something on his manhood and said that was what his baba gave him to use to have sex with me,that i would loose my womb and good fortune …I begged and cried but he refused . 

At midnight when he tried to use what the baba gave him,his manhood refused to come up,he tried over and over again but his manhood didn't function,it just didn't get up again and he hit me in anger many times over but still nothing happened. 

He then hurriedly left in annoyance to meet with his baba and in his rush he forgot to lock the door to the suite ,he didn't use the keys but i didn't know this,i was still gagged and bound waiting for him to come back in fear and by 9am on the 16th October morning he wasn't back and the housekeeping came and kept knocking and when no one answered,they went downstairs to get the spare key to open the door but found out the door wasn't even locked.normally since the time he kept me there he was always there when the housekeeping came and told them he didn't want to be disturbed. 

They came in and found me bound and gagged and helped me out.the names moses used in filling out the forms were fake names and i am presently in Benin city on admission in hospital.I also suffered injuries untold. MOSES IDAHOSA is still at large but the police are on a man hunt for him.his wife and children are in Police custody as you read this. 

My names are Ethel Joan Nwadike and i am not ashamed to come out and say i was raped.Please i am using this medium to reach out to the public,anyone that knows anything or sees him should please contact me or the nearest police station at once,he is a dangerous man and his next victim might not be as lucky as i was. 
I am sure after raping me he would have probably killed me and dumped my body somewhere and no one would have known how i died….a FRIEND I TRUSTED! 

He calls himself Honourable Moses Idahosa and works with the internal revenue service in Benin city, he is still at large and with your help the police can find him.. 

I thank God for my life and ask you to join me in thanksgiving..This is someone i knew and trusted.it could happen to anyone out there.ladies please be careful who you trust.

ARMY BEGINS MASS RECUITMENT

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, said the army had commenced massive recruitment to tackle the security challenge in the country.
Ihejirika said this while opening a five-day seminar organised by the army’s Department of Civil-Military Affairs at the 2 Div. Odogbo, Ibadan on Monday.
“I have commenced the recruitment of 9,000 persons in our various training institutions’’, Ihejirika said.
The COAS, represented by Maj. Gen. John Ewansiha, said the objective of the seminar was to foster better working relations with civil society organisations toward winning hearts and minds.
Ihejirika reiterated the intention of the army to train and retrain its officers in order to meet the security challenge of the country.
“Indeed, the Nigerian army is currently occupied with domestic challenges in several parts of the country, especially in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States’’, he said.
The Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Maj. Gen. Bola Koleoso, said the seminar was part of the quests to resolve the crisis currently facing the nation.
“As we all know, the civil society organisations stand for the defence of human rights everywhere as well as in crisis situations.
“The military aims at defeating insurgents as well as protecting law-abiding citizens’’, he said.
Gov. Abiola Ajimobi, who was the guest of honour, stressed the need for constant engagement and discussion between the civil and military publics.
“The modus operandi of the military is force; obedience to order and immediacy of that obedience. The modus operandi of the civil public is persuasion and constant engagement, which takes time“, he said.
Ajimobi said the task of such relationship should thus be how to bring the two publics together to pursue same agenda for the democratic vision of the nation.
“The Nigerian civil public cannot afford to stand aloof from the military.
“Since independence, the military has fought wars toward the sustenance of Nigeria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“It has lost thousands of its men who are martyrs of the peace and nationhood we enjoy today.
“We cannot but support the military in its quest to protect the nation and her territorial borders’’, the governor said.
The theme of the seminar is: “Consolidating Civil Society Organisations/Military Relations for Improved National Security.’’

WICKEDNESS: HIV POSITIVE WOMAN ARRESTED FOR BREASTFEEDING NEIGHBOUR’S BABY

A Zimbabwean woman who breastfed a neighbour’s baby without her consent faces a possible two-year sentence for deliberately infecting another person with HIV after she tested positive.

Thirty nine-year-old Annie Mpariwa appeared in a Gaborone court on Wednesday and the case was deferred to October 24 to allow a second HIV test to be performed on the toddler.
The child’s initial results were negative.

Mpariwa was arrested last week on charges of common nuisance and should the child test positive, the charge will be raised to “deliberately infecting another person with HIV”.

The mother of the 14-month-old baby said seeing her child being breastfed by her neighbour was traumatising.

She alleged that her neighbour snatched the child while she was playing outside and hid her in her room. After searching for the child for quite some time, she went and knocked on Mpariwa’s rented room and got no response.

Upon peeping through the window, she saw her breastfeeding the little girl.
“When I looked through the window I saw her breastfeeding my baby. I was shocked. I nearly fainted,” she said, adding that her breasts were leaking milk yet she was not a nursing mother or pregnant.

The incident comes in the wake of a newly enacted law on HIV and Aids that calls for stiffer penalties on people who deliberately infect others with HIV.
